I’ve never heard of Eavesdrop before, I’ll have to take a look of that. (I kind of like whole sentences though. There’s an option to make the default log shorter, but incomplete sentences drive me nuts.)

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:07:52 +0000http://bossypally.wordpress.com/?p=554#comment-198This was a great post! I personally use Eavesdrop for my combat log needs (I can get it a bit smaller, and I find it much easier to decipher than whole sentences of text).

That being said, next time I hear “How did I die,” I’m sending that raider here.

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 01:39:09 +0000http://bossypally.wordpress.com/?p=554#comment-195I use recount and World of Logs for Death Analysis. Where modifying the combat log display truly shines is world pvp. I have a “Horde Hunter” setting which screens out anything except what nearby horde players are doing. So if a horde player gains mana from a blessing, has a buff go up or fall off, pretty much anything, I know their name, and what they’re trying. Quick /tar gives me their location, and then I have the initiative.

What do you use for your death logs, by the way? Do you use the Recount option?

I mean no insult to anyone’s intelligence! I find the Combat Log to be one of those tools that players forget about but that can be so useful when used right. I also don’t find it intuitive, even though there’s tooltips when you mouse over stuff. The first time I configured it right, it was by accident. When I lost my settings, it took me forever to figure out how to get it the way I liked again. There’s still some things I can’t get quite right, such as even though I have “power gains” unchecked, you can see by the screenshot at the top of the post that it still tells me when I get mana back. (I think I might have to get rid of “other” under “periodic”…hmmmm)

The settings I have will still have all the “fades from”. To get rid of those, unchecking “Auras” under the “Message Types” tab should do the trick. (I don’t know why I bother to keep Auras checked. I don’t use my Log to monitor my buffs. I think I’ll go uncheck that too.)

I have long wanted to fix my combat log so that it’s, oh i don’t know, USEFUL, but I needed step by step visual instructions on how to do it. You are my hero.

Okay, enough worshipping at your feet. With these settings, will I still need to shuffle through the vast amounts of “Power Word: Awesome Fades from Jessabelle” that all seem to follow after my death? I hate how it lists all the different buffs I had that disappear after I die. Seriously, I’m dead. I know. I get it. I just want to know HOW I died without shuffling through 18 pages of faded buffs.
